How the assessment works

Which? run an energy satisfaction survey for customers and also undertake their own independent assessment, which is a detailed analysis of energy companies' practices.

They rate energy companies against a set of 15 criteria across three key areas: how well they conduct customer service, how they deal with complaints and how they support customers in need. It鈥檚 a thorough set of tests 鈥� and only the best energy companies come out on top.

On our customer service, Which? say: 鈥�In our assessment, Ecotricity鈥檚 customer service setup scored well, with a variety of ways to get in touch that are monitored beyond standard working hours and days.鈥�

Which? Recommended Providers must achieve a 70% customer score and score above average in the Which? Assessment.

The customer score is based on satisfaction and likelihood to recommend. Customers also rated aspects of service, which are presented as star ratings. The Which? Assessment score looks at supplier practices and procedures and is based on: customer service (30%), supporting customers who need it (30%), complaints performance (30%) and performance against 2022 smart meter targets (10%).

皇冠体育app received a customer score of 71% and 72% in the Which? Assessment.

Dale Vince OBE said:听鈥淎chieving the coveted Which? Recommended Provider status is a big deal. 皇冠体育app鈥檙e not just Britain鈥檚 greenest energy company, now our customers have put us in the top ranks of electricity suppliers for our service.听

What makes Ecotricity different is we use the money we make to build new sources of green energy instead of paying dividends.皇冠体育app use energy bills to build windmills, sunmills and now green gasmills. The more customers we have, the more we can build.鈥�

Anita Yandell-Jones, Ecotricity鈥檚 Chief Customer Officer, says: 鈥�I am thrilled that our service to our customers has been recognised by Which?. This is true recognition of not only being Britain鈥檚 greenest energy company but one that ensures our customers are at the heart of everything we do.鈥�

Which? only endorses the very best products and services. And as a completely independent organisation, being rated as a Which? Recommended Provider reflects how our customers rate us and the service we provide.

皇冠体育app think the best thing about being a Which? Recommended Provider is that it will help more people discover Ecotricity 鈥� and why we鈥檙e Britain鈥檚 greenest energy company.

As a not for dividend company, the money we have - all of it! - goes into our mission to green up Britain. Everyone who joins us helps to replace fossil fuels with green energy.

Thanks to our lovely customers for their continued support and to those that took part in the Which? customer survey.

Climate Clock

The Climate Clock is a version of the Doomsday clock that has been running since 1947 - this tracks the risk of global man-made disaster, through man made technology (like nuclear weapons) - displaying the minutes and seconds left before midnight, when disaster strikes. The climate crisis is a small part of the calculations made.The climate clock uses a similar approach, but, focuses only on the climate crisis - which is the biggest and most urgent existential threat we face."The Climate Clock is a countdown to the biggest man-made disaster we face - but also a measure by which we can track our progress - moving from fossil to renewable energy. It shows we have no time to lose - the clock is ticking鈥�" Dale Vince, OBE.
